El Nino events could be extreme by 2050 if current trends in greenhouse gas emissions continue, a new study has found. El Nino, a weather pattern known for triggering warmer extremes like heatwaves and floods, is known to raise sea surface temperatures, while its counterpart La Nina leads to cooling effects. Both are phases of El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) climate driver. Multiple studies have provided evidence that a consistently warming climate favours more frequent and intense El Nino events, which are known to fuel extreme weather events. In this study, conducted by researchers including those from the University of Colorado Boulder, US, used computer models to stimulate El Nino events over the past 21,000 years — the peak of Earth's last Ice Age, one of the planet's coldest periods.

To put this into perspective, the 'missing' sea ice measures approximately 386,000 square miles less than the previous record low recorded in 2022, which is larger than the land area of Egypt. As the southern hemisphere transitions into spring, the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) said in a statement that Antarctic sea ice had only reached a maximum size of 16.96 million square kilometers (6.55 million square miles) this year, on September 10. The ice pack typically reaches its largest size during the colder winter months, so the September 10 reading will likely remain this year's maximum. «This is the lowest sea ice maximum in the 1979 to 2023 sea ice record by a wide margin,» said the NSIDC, a government-supported program at the University of Colorado at Boulder. At its high-point this year, the sea ice was 1.03 million square kilometers smaller than the previous record, roughly the size of Texas and California combined. The vast glacial ice sheet of Antarctica and the ice covering the surrounding seas play a vital role in climate regulation. They act as a reflective surface, bouncing the sun's energy back into the atmosphere and space. In contrast, the dark surface of the ocean absorbs a significant portion of the sun's incoming energy. Therefore, a reduction in sea ice leads to higher temperatures, creating a self-reinforcing cycle that accelerates global warming.

Forbes shared this exciting news. This incredible phenomenon is created by an enormous storm in space called a geomagnetic storm, which is triggered by a massive burst of energy known as a coronal mass ejection (CME). This explosion occurred on the sun's surface on Saturday, September 16, and it is now traveling straight for Earth. The CME is projected to impact Earth on Tuesday, September 19, but we don't know when. The storm is expected to be at its fiercest between 06:00 and 09:00 UTC on September 19, according to specialists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center.
